Norah Jones is one of those artists that comes along and gives music something it hasn’t had in a while….a dose sensational piano playing, a distinct voice, and a refreshing approach that has been influenced by everyone from Ella Fitzgerald to Ray Charles. I was a blast to chat it up with Norah and document her show that evening.

He is currently a vocal coach on the NBCs “The Voice,” with Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, and Cee Lo Green.
